I think that's the first time gold anodised forks and shock haven't looked out of place......
I like it.
I like it.

I love the headlight idea....keeps the overall feel of a classic round light, but does something modern too.

There's a takeaway near us called the Jaipur, it's not very good.

Even bland can be a type of character

Ditto... but there's something strangely appealing about it.

Really nice bike! I agree with Rp1 a seat with a hump would look better, but thats a bout it.
Re: headlight; I fitted a Chinese copy* of the Daymaker to my Harley and my Thruxton cos they fit them as well and they are errr brilliant! Best headlight I've ever had on a bike and they live up to their name!
* They have exactly the same markings on them on as a OEM Harley one but are about £360 cheaper!

Don't like the monoshock or single sided arm. With twin shocks that would be much better

Exhaust wrap <banghead>. Whats that hiding?
Most of it looks Ok, but it needs mudguards. My first bike was a DT100 with no rear mudguard.
Got shite all up my back. I don't care where everyone else lives but I live in Cumbria, we have puddles and cowshit here.
I'll give it a 7/10..
I sort of like the Cafe racer look but I reckon the reality would be a pain in the arse.

Oh and no plate/separator between the wheel and the pod filter. Any water/shite off the tyre ends up on the filter.
